Its a bunch of reactions that happen one after another. The reason that the next reaction in the "chain" of reactions is able to happen is because the reaction before it happened. The first reaction in the chain is initiated by a transfer of electron(s). The same exact electron is not necessarily passed on. It is the gradient of energy that pushed the reaction along.

ProfessorElectron chain transport is a series of redox reactions involving proteins embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. During this process, electrons are passed along a chain of protein complexes (such as complexes I, II, III, and IV) to generate a proton gradient used to synthesize ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. This is a crucial step in cellular respiration for producing energy in the form of ATP.

What procces in respiration happens last?
Electronic transport chain
What events take place within the mitochodrial membrane?
ETC---Electron transport chain
The final reduced species in the electron transport chain is?
The final reduced species in the electron transport chain is water. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the chain, and it is reduced to form water.
What gets generated through the electron transport chain?
The products of the electron transport chain are water and adenosine triphosphate. ATP.
Another name for electron transport chain is?
The electron transport chain is also known as the respiratory chain.
